an eco-advocacy project
designed to support
the longevity and vitality
of our planet through
art and education

art is the silent activist...

Thirteen paintings are awaiting to be revealed

...giving voices to the voiceless,

The beating heart & lungs of the earth

Borneo and other rainforests like it are the ecological powerhouses of our planet.

They are responsible for the air we breathe, the fresh water we drink and a vital bounty of life-saving medicinal plants found nowhere else in the world.

ANCIENT FORESTS

140 million years of evolution

ENDEMIC ANIMALS

+600 mammal, bird, reptile and amphibian species

Borneo's peatlands

the rainforest is the earth's largest carbon filter

MEDICINAL PLANTS

plants that could cure diseases like AIDS, cancer + malaria

ANCESTRAL HOMELAND

indigenous communities' source of food, water, work, medicine and shelter

bringing awareness to imbalance...

"When I imagined visiting Borneo for the first time, I envisioned a beautiful, biodiverse ecosystem... BUT NEARLY HALF OF THE FOREST WAS DESTROYED. "

“I made a commitment at that moment to use my art to raise awareness and inspire action to save the lifeblood of our planet—the rainforests.

In the past 20 years, 63 million acres of forest cover were lost, about the size of the state of Colorado. Almost half of the critical lowland forest that was left was destroyed, endangering many species, including orangutans.

As Borneo continues to diminish, the rainforest is losing its ability to sequester carbon. For instance, in 2015, widespread burning of peatlands in Borneo and Sumatra released an estimated 1.75 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, equivalent to the annual emissions of Japan. In some months that year, the daily CO2 emissions even exceeded those of the entire US economy.

An organization that I believe is making a significant impact in Borneo is Health in Harmony, with whom we are partnering for this project to raise funds and awareness. They have conducted extensive research on reversing climate change and combating deforestation through human-centered solutions, engaging with local communities, indigenous people, and even illegal loggers.

DEFORESTATION

millions of acres of forests have been cut down to create palm oil plantations

DANGEROUS emissions

peatland destruction has released massive amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

DEVASTASTING FIRES

fires are used to clear land and often get out of control - destroying the forest and homes

MONOCULTURE

forest diversity is now replaced by one crop - palm oil

POVERTY

incomes in Indonesia are under $10,000 USD a year

...and restoring harmony
